        i have the Marantz CDR310 and love it. you can record 5 hours of at CD quality or wav files, and 300 hours of MP3's on the internal hard drive then hit a button and hit will create a CD there is even a feature that lets you record directly to a CD all of it right out of the mixer.

              I have no personal experience with the MT2 but it comes highly recommended from a friend. Make sure to share your review. I am also shopping for a field recorder and would appreciate your thoughts.

                Well. If Dig72 and I were right about him recording his set at Q bar,[and I believe we were ] it's a little handheld of some description It looked a little bigger than the one Pole Folder was using. That little MT2 looks like pretty good value as well. I love gadgets. !!

                    That m-audiodevice looks sweet ... can anyone recommend a discreet mic to go along with it for recording gigs ?

                        i've got a really tiny Iriver recording device. It records at 192k and sounds pretty good. It takes an 1/8" plug but that's OK with me. It will record a little over three hours at that bitrate, but you can bring it down to 128 and it'll go for around 4 hours. Pretty darn nice. BTW it's a 512 Meg recorder. My friend bought the 1 gig and it will do twice as much as mine will.

                        model # 130MX 512Meg.

                          I want a discrete mic to illegally record music ... holding that in my hands may be a bit too obvious !

                                Im curious about the r-09. You say you can record directly into the sd card or internal hd right? Now this might sound noObish, but what does the mic do in terms of recording?

                                I mean does it make the recording sound more "live"? Is there anything out there that recrods like the Essential Live mixes? You know, crisp and clean and then it fades out into the crowd noise for a bit, then back to the studio sound.... That would be bad ass.

                                Im assuming its either or right?
